Wegbeschreibung
The circular hiking trail starts at the Hugo-Strobel-Halle in Altstadt. From there, you enter the forest directly and then continue to the left until you cross the "Ortsstraße". After crossing, the path leads along the edge of the village, past fields, up to the country road L116. This is crossed, so the path continues along the edge of the village. Upon reaching "Turmstraße", the hiking trail follows up to the bell tower. There, it turns left into "Ortsstraße". Shortly after, it continues into "Hohlstraße" through the town onto cultivated fields. Just before a large farmhouse, the path turns right into the forest and loops back to the Hugo-Strobel-Halle.
